II. The idea

Desired technical features

The most desired technical features are composed of the components of an administrative admin level, as well as an input level for survey preparation, a level for survey conduction and a level for data export.

- single or multiple answers

- adjustment of scales of measurement, labels and ID's

- user-friendly surface

- data collection in offline mode; data transfer when the device is online again

Here the admin level constitutes the important link between social science surveys and academic teaching. Thus it is possible for the lecturers to divide students into groups and to mentor them. The input level offers an intuitive possibility to create questionnaires directly in the web app. For the survey level we put emphasis on a user-friendly surface and an offline mode. With the offline mode it is possible to conduct surveys without being connected to the internet after loading the questionnaire only once beforehand. For the export level the data export in csv-files was the priority, so that the questionnaires can be imported in statistical analysis programs like R+ or SPSS.
